To triumph fully, evil needs two victories, not one. The first victory happens when an evil deed is perpetrated; the second victory, when evil is returned. After the first victory, evil would die if the second victory did not infuse it with new life... I could do nothing about the first victory of evil, but I could prevent the second.
Miroslav Volf's, "The End of Memory"
Lord, my heart has wrestled with either things committed against me or things committed towards those I love. Help me to not respond (even in my thoughts) in such a way that would allow evil to win, but in a way, by your strength, that would end it. Help me to choose your way; a way that gives love life, not death.
